Box Score GLASSBORO, NJ – The Rowan University softball team won 5-4 in nine innings over Stockton University on Sunday afternoon.  The contest was rescheduled from April 10 because the second game of the doubleheader was rained out.
 
Third baseman Jessica Phillips (sr. Woolwich, NJ/Kingsway Reg.) knocked in pinch runner Rosalie Hood (fr. Egg Harbor City, NJ/Cedar Creek) for the victory.  Hood started on second base because of the international tie-breaker rule and advanced to third on a sac bunt by first baseman Damariz Mercado (so. Bloomfield, NJ/Bloomfield). 
 
Right-hander Allison Nolan (jr. Middletown, NJ/Middletown S.) was the winning pitcher.  In six relief innings, she only allowed one hit and one unearned run.  Pitcher Samantha Shockey (jr. Deptford, NJ/Deptford) had the loss on the mound.  She (5-3) gave up two unearned runs on four hits.
 
The Profs are 26-2 overall and 8-2 in the New Jersey Athletic Conference.  The Ospreys have a 14-7 record with a 4-6 conference mark.
 
Rowan tied the score at three in the fifth inning.  Right fielder Sierra Machinski (fr. Cherry Hill, NJ/Cherry Hill W.) singled up the middle and designated player Morgan Smith (fr. Millsboro, DE/Sussex Central) crossed the plate.  In the eighth, the Ospreys had a RBI single by Shockey to lead 4-3.  Machinski came home in the bottom half on shortstop Shilah Snead's (jr. Malaga, NJ/Delsea Reg.) out.
 
Phillips ended the game with three hits in five at bats, a double and three RBIs.  Left fielder Mia Baldassari (fr.
